Have any Biblical literalists been to the American Southwest?

I was considering doing a "Post of the Month" on this as an example of blatant humilty that could only derive from God - but given that you were supposed to be taking a rest I figure the extra attention would be counter productive.Faith on Geology....becoming all things to all men methinks

Romans 10:9-10: " if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved....."

Neither I suppose. It had more to do with your prepardedness to approach the problem of blindness on any and all fronts. To stand toe to toe anywhere you find yourself. "If you want to misinterpret the Bible, I'll go there. If you want to spin some geologic column nonsense, I'll go there" Ecetera. All things to all men For all the disadvantage a creationist would appear to be at: relative numbers, the use of creationist as a dirty word which is pulled rabbit-out-of-a-hat-like as if it is all the evidence anyone needs, that Evo science is seen as the be all and end all, we have in fact got an amazing advantage.I'm reminded of David and Goliath. When you KNOW Godidit, it is relatively easy to find holes to pick in the 'oppositions' case. You know it's wrong from the get go. And you know that if you poke around a little you'll inevitably find that at the foundation of all the 'facts' lies mystery and uncertainty. Theory piled on theory, assumption on assumption. That folk, when pushed that far batten down the hatches and retreat behind "theories remain tentitive forever" and "we don't know now but there is no reason to suppose we won't find out" is their perogative. That some live to fight another day and then goldfish memory-like, reappear on another thread with more presumptions-masquerading-as-facts can be frustrating. But better that than nothing at all eh? Sometimes I feel like I'm trying to herd kittens. But maybe thats our role?Being born again is a little like being born first time round: you don't really remember the occasion. I do remember that little things folk said stuck in my mind at that time. And they weren't the complete arguments - just small bits that wouldn't go away. I hope that's whats going to happen here. We throw enough mud as it were - God'll make sure some of it sticks. If the person wants to spray themselve with teflon so that nothing sticks then theres not much to be done. I argued vehemently against folk who said Goddidit but all the arguement dissolve like the morning mist when he steps in. (by having folk exercise themselves against Goddidit is no bad thing. It can become a positive later. Imagine if Chiroptera or someone like that becomes a Christian. Saul becoming Paul. Ain't God great!!That's my take on it anywayOnwards Christian Soldiers...Glad to hear things are relaxing up your way

"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone" (and for once I can provide the reference where that is cited)The Jurassic Age is gone, as is the Cambrian Age. As is the Neolithic Age (all alleged of course). So too, it would appear...The Age of Chivalry...What a pity...I rather thought it was kinda nice.
